Copy and Paste an Asset

Copying assets lets you quickly and efficiently expand the number of assets you have within a model. You might duplicate a floor if you have multiple floors in a commercial building or a suite if you have multiple suites.

Copy an Asset

To copy an asset, complete the following steps:

1. Go to Assets > Asset Search.
2. Use the search fields to locate the asset you want to copy.
3. Double-click the asset name.
4. On the Asset Details screen, drill down to the level that contains the asset you want to copy.
5. Click the name of the asset to be copied.
6. Click the (Copy) button at the bottom of the screen to make a copy of the asset or click the (Copy with Children) button if you want to copy all of the assets within the asset as well.

Tips

• You can copy any asset with children except the top level (Property/Work Zone).
• You cannot copy an asset that has more than 400 assets (children) attached.

1. First copy an asset or asset with children using the steps outlined above.
2. Navigate to the asset under which you want to paste the new asset. Check the path to determine where the asset is being pasted.
3. Click the (Paste) button.
4. The asset is copied into the Asset table into the asset at the asset path's end.
